Killarney/Glengarry

Killarney/Glengarry, an established southwest Calgary community with historical roots dating to 1906, represents heritage residential character experiencing contemporary transformation through transit-oriented development and golf course adjacency creating distinctive neighborhood identity. Originally part of the extensive Glengarry estate purchased in 1906 and later subdivided, the area served as housing development for returning World War II soldiers, creating strong post-war community foundation with original housing stock dating from that period. The community's defining physical feature is adjacency to Shaganappi Golf Course along its western boundary, providing green space buffer and recreational amenity rare among inner-city developments. Killarney/Glengarry's evolution accelerated with Westbrook LRT station opening on the community's eastern edge, catalyzing transit-oriented intensification including multi-family residential development and creating exceptional transit connectivity to downtown Calgary, University of Calgary, and broader LRT network.
